From spa days to car rallies, fashion shows to business breakfasts, sporting challenges to gala charity dinners – successful charity events come in all shapes and sizes. The clever bit, which is where we come in, is in helping charities to choose the most appropriate event, creating a buzz around the event, ensure key messages of the charity are promoted, encourage participation in terms of numbers and attendance by the ‘right’ people and ultimately in  MAKING MONEY. Great Giving does not shy away from articulating (and achieving) this loudly and clearly, and neither should you.

Sporting Challenges

This is a crowded area with ever more competition. Planning, a clear structure, are all critical to achieving fundraising goals no matter how simple the challenge /event is, At Great Giving we will help you to achieve your event goals by considering the following:

  1. Have at least one stand out element which will help attract participants to the challenge
  2. Create a compelling message that cleverly promotes the challenge and the cause for participants, supporters and more widely
  3. Wrap other fundraising opportunities around the challenge to maximise income streams
  4. Ensure the event is part of the bigger picture of your fundraising strategy
  5. Use it to promote awareness of the charity and/or specific goals

 

Charity (Gala) Dinners

A Charity Gala Dinner can be one of the most powerful ways to bring in serious funds, create awareness of the charity to a targeted audience and reward donors for contributions and loyalty.

At Great Giving we specialise in planning and implementing a dinner that:

  1. Creates an event which is far more than a one night wonder – the build up to the event and longevity following it have positive benefits for the charity long after the event is over.
  2. Maximise opportunities to raise significant funds
  3. Help you to harness your key contacts including board members, trustees, donors and ambassadors
  4. Create a dinner concept, branding and content to ensure the event in on message with clearly articulated fundraising goals
  5. Work within strict budgets, timelines and staffing for maximum profit to the charity
